TSW Thuxton wheels

I am currently looking for a new set of wheels to replace the wheels with the winter snows soon. Anybody have any feedback on the TSW Thuxton wheel?
They look pretty sharp! Their website is http://www.tsw.com, they have a few pic's with the Thuxtons on a G under Showroom

Actually the pics are under showroom, just incase people get confused. I think the rims are nice, but it all comes back to the driver and his preference, if you plan on getting these rims in 19's it will be like this 19x8 front, 19x9.5 rear like most people i think you might want a fatter lip in the back. Unless you get the 20's then you can have the rear by 20x10. The price on these wheels are 242.19 each for the 19's. They are not bad for the price. Overall there nice! But it never hurts to do a little more research.

Thanks for the reply

Your right,The wheels are not very expensive for the look. There are many wheels I have been looking at (volk,racing hart,nismo etc.) and I'm sure it comes down to quality and price but the Thuxtons seem to have the deeper lip which I like(almost 3") I am however thinking about 18 x 8 front and 18 x 9 for the original tires ( Michelin Pilot Sports) that came with the car.The tires only have 200 miles on them. Would I be better off going with 19's all around and try to sell the originals? thoughts to be answered before spring i guess...

I liked them before I saw them on a car. When you see them on a car they look small. I think its because of the way the spokes bend in towards the outer rim(if that makes sense).

Yeah trust me if you get 18's you will be kicking yourself later. 19's are the perfect size with a little drop it rides nice. Yeah you can sell your stock wheels i dont know how much for but im sure decent price. If you want a deeper lip go with 19x9 in the front and 19x10.5 in the back thats a nice lip right there. Try different rims out such as Maya STM, Volk's are always nice but pricy, racing hart cp-f tune. The Cp-f tune is what i am putting on my G next month. Let us know what you find for rim choices.

Axis Wheels

I think at this time, I am leaning towards the Axis Milano wheel 19x9 front 19x9.5 rear with 245-35-19 and 275-35-19 respectively.Ive heard positive and negative, but no more so than other wheels.
